The parasite we love
Octavia Tsibes
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. Its power lies solely in our hands. Unfortunately we are prone to abusing free power. We live in an age where lying and covering our tracks is not only accepted but expected.
Relationship norms now include being unfaithful (especially for men). In the workplace it's corruption and not giving your all and other various forms of rebellion. Friendships have become need based and dependant on convenience and other selfish ambitions. So many people boast about losing people and rant about being incapable of trusting anyone. As a result we end up alone with a wall built around us. A wall of lies.
In modern society most relationships that are wounded, undergoing intensive care or dying are as a result of lacking anything in common and the parasite that we love. No effort is made by our society to find a cure or mitigate the pandemic’s spread. The virus that is causing so much destruction is the words that we so proudly utter with our mouths; all the lies we spew. We the human race are the cure of this vile pandemic but for some reason we are accepting it and contributing to its spread. Numerous broken homes, backstabbing enemies, and many mental illness cases. As a result of the change in social norms over the past decade, 33.7% of the population are affected by mental illnesses such as anxiety, and one in every four people have suffered from depression.
The roots are the words that we plant in people that break them down and produce self-doubt and low self-esteem. We accept this and water the implications by focusing on the bad whilst forgetting the beauty of our struggling hustle. Our mind-sets put us in the situations that we hate and have been in for too long.
I challenge you today to change your situation if you're tired of it. Stop lying to yourself and realize you’re potential. Contribute to healing all the friendships and relationships that you miss, please not with your ex. This may flush out the toxic bad vibes in your life brought by people in the past and start afresh. Do it for yourself or kill them with kindness. Love yourself today.
